Hazy Days

Posted on August 9, 2019May 24, 2020 by Joe Merkle

I’m so tired of working like a dogWorrying about all the thingsThat don’t meanA damn thing to me I just want to get awayTake a step back, slip awayYou and I, just fade awayFade away And on these hazy daysI imagine all the lazy waysI can spend in your armsSpellbound by your charms Dancing under…

Recipes

Posted on May 25, 2019May 25, 2020 by Joe Merkle

Wafting, wandering through the houseVapors caressing, swirling aboutSearching for and finding perchWithin my nose, my smile, my smirch She brews a stewWith a sorcerer’s charmBlending a beguiling brisket of beefShe steals my soul, like a culinary thief At times I nod offFor just a little whileTo awaken from savory scentsThat brings a smile Each recipe…

Empty Halls

Posted on May 3, 2019June 4, 2020 by Joe Merkle

Seems these days we don’t agree on most anythingEven our hearts seem to be lost in futilityWe have both abandoned what we’ve always dreamedA life together, a love so strong, when did it all go wrong Will you still hear my voice echo through the empty hallsWill my picture still be hanging on the wallWill…

What If Everything You Believe In Is A Lie

Posted on March 12, 2019January 10, 2025 by Joe Merkle

What if everything you believe in is a lie? How could this be you ask? How can I have lived a lifetime, no matter how short or long, worked so hard and learned so many of life’s lessons and have someone tell me what I have come to believe is a lie? Well, let’s talk…

The Simple Fool

Posted on February 25, 2019May 25, 2020 by Joe Merkle

I find myself orphaned on this deserted islandA returned prodigalMy only inspiration an occasionalSliver of blue I was an appetent victim of your coquetryI drank from your Circe elixirYou are a siren, a piece de resistanceAn arabesque of womanhood All your gracious beautyYour infallible reflectionDisguised so adequatelyA heart of callosity Hollow is my heartI dwell…

A Winter’s Eve

Posted on January 16, 2019May 25, 2020 by Joe Merkle

As feathers, the flakes fallBacklit by a crescent moonThey meltOn my tongue As I lie in cold wetnessI am teasedSeized, by the momentHeld captive by its spectacle The singular sound I hearMust be my shallow breathingInvoluntarily I senseI trespass on this stage It’s time to take my leaveAllow my blood to flowBelow the crunching underfootAre…

Priorities For Life

Posted on January 14, 2019May 24, 2020 by Joe Merkle

PRIORITIES FOR LIFE The average adult human being lives his/her life with a certain set of priorities. Now, most of these have been inherited, set in stone, and handed down for generations. Go to school, get a job, work hard, fall in love, have a family, believe in God. You get the point. Look around…

Forevermore

Posted on January 8, 2019May 25, 2020 by Joe Merkle

Sailing the ocean in your eyesOn a blue and balmy breezeStriking out for an eternityOn your seven seas And in the shade of your hairI can’t help but stareDeep within the secretsYou so gladly share And I can feel my soul slipping awaySearching for the simple wayTo delay setting ashoreForevermore Written in 1972

Simply Sarah

Posted on December 11, 2018May 24, 2020 by Joe Merkle

She is a dreamera sweet unfolding flowerUnassuming, sometimes amusingWhat’s the secret to her power over me She’s just a slight and slender reedFlowing gracefully in the tall grassHer long dress billows in the summer breezeMaking her appear as if in flight She stands on higher ground than IGently lifting me to dareDoing all she can…

Melancholy Lady

Posted on November 2, 2018May 24, 2020 by Joe Merkle

This waiting is driving me crazyThe tears I’m tasting are just wasting me awayAnd though I know it’s in your eyesI can’t help wondering why I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you You’re a melancholy ladyNo use trying to disguise itI can see it’s in your eyesIt’s in your eyes And though I…
